Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is under pressure at Manchester United following Sunday's 2-0 defeat at the hands of West Ham.

The Red Devils were comfortably beaten in the capital, as their attacking shortcomings were laid bare for all to see. Marcus Rashford limped off injured in the second-half after an anonymous performance, to add to the injury worries in Solskjaer's camp.

Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood were also unavailable for the tie.

This meant when United were chasing two second-half goals at West Ham, their front six consisted of Angel Gomes, Jesse Lingard, Dan James, Scott McTominay, Fred and Andreas Pereira.

Gary Neville took aim at the club while on commentary for Sky Sports, insisting this group was not good enough for a club of United's stature.

And the former Old Trafford full-back has doubled-down on his claim this week.

"At the end of the game against West Ham I rhymed off the six names that ended up on the pitch - Angel Gomes, Jesse Lingard, Dan James, Scott McTominay, Fred and Andreas Pereira," he told the Gary Neville Podcast.

"Now, I think there's a lot of future in those lads so it's not a criticism of them, but if you're Manchester United coach and you end of up with them on the pitch at West Ham and you need two goals, you're going to be in trouble.

"I don't care who you are. "Obviously, Mason Greenwood is injured, Anthony Martial is injured and Marcus Rashford left the pitch with an injury problem, but it is a worry for United that the squad is so thin."

Greenwood could be back in contention this week should he overcome an illness.

And Solskjaer admitted that Martial was 'close' to returning to first-team action.

But Rashford could be facing a spell on the sidelines.

"He has done something to his groin we will have to see how bad he is," Solskjaer said over the weekend.
